Biography
Pinky Rabinowitz was born in New York City, New York to a Jewish family, and he became an associate of Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, and Bugsy Siegel. Rabinowitz was not as well-known as his peers, which was one of the reasons why he was chosen to take over Atlantic City, New Jersey after Enoch Thompson gave the city to the American Mafia in 1931. Rabinowitz was involved in a few crimes before this, and he was familiar with kidnapping and torture methods, as displayed when he kidnapped Thompson's nephew Willie Thompson. Rabinowitz inherited a great empire when he took over Atlantic City, and the Mafia prospered from the casinos and hotels along the boardwalk.
